- There was once a man who lived in Killeroran, Ballygar and his name was Tommie Keighrey. HE was noted for his witty tales. He used to work for the priest and one day he was making a gap between the parson's land and the priests land. A man came up and asked him what was he doing and he said he was making a gap between heaven and hell. This man is only dead about two years.
